Aurielle and Josh's wedding ring shot ~ Magic Dust

i am learning macro photography..

picked up the 100 2.8 L with I.S. to help me do the job better since i was fighting with the 85L for ring shots..

this new lens should help out and do things fast for me..

this was the first time using it and i think it is a huge learning curve !..

macro is totally different than people portraits.. and the Fstops are totally different.. i have to learn the ratio differences..

for people full body i like to be at 2.0 on the 85L..

but for objects that are small.. i think i need to be around 5.6 or higher to get everything in focus..

lighting was a single 580 triggered by a cactus trigger with a white card on the camera right to bounce the light back to the rings..

rings were on a wooden floor with small dust particles that made the sweet bokeh..
